You are joking, but there are serious interpretations of Babar (which remember, was written when France had an active Empire) that interpet Babar’s attempts at modernizing (really more “Francifing”) his kingdom as a reflection of how the French saw “good” native rulers as ones who rejected their native culture in favor of France’s.

Relatedly, Netflix’s “A Very Secret Service” is a crazy comedy told from the vantage of a 1960’s French spy, and I’ve seen that line of humor reflected in the show:
The show is dark, hilarious, abrasive and strange. I’m certain I missed jokes because I don’t speak French and the more knowledge the viewer has of Cold War French history, the better the jokes land.
Damned hilarious show, IMHO.

Not sure I get it. Is it a real thing and a fake parody rebuttal, or a real parody rebuttal for something that hasn’t happened but easily could?
